Jeremiah 51
INVEST WISELY

Jeremiah prophesied about the destruction of Babylon. His prophecy related to the time when Babylon would be punished for the terror they had measured out on Jerusalem. But at the time Babylon was punished, these prophecies were not completely fulfilled. We know that because some of this prophecy is quoted in Revelation: “Come out of her, my people! Run for your lives! Run from the fierce anger of the Lord.” (Jeremiah 51 v 45, Revelation 18 v 4).

Whether the Babylon in Revelation refers to a literal place or not, it certainly represents the worldly systems we live among. Our responsibility is not to get too attached to it. Listen: God will make Babylon “a burnt-out mountain. No rock will be taken from you for a cornerstone, nor any stone for a foundation, for you will be desolate for ever.” (Jeremiah 51 v 25 – 26).

None of our investments in the mountain of Babylon will pay off. They will be burnt out. But by investing in God’s kingdom, we are investing in his stone that will become a great mountain and fill the whole earth, and we are investing in Jesus, our cornerstone who will never be moved.

Let’s invest wisely. We know the end results. Let’s invest for the long term because the only investment that will actually pay off is by putting our trust in God and his everlasting kingdom.

May we invest our energy into serving the Lord well this weekend.
